One giant and poorly acted cliché

Rating: 1/10 (15 July 2013)

In one line: the monster from Cloverfield meets a dumbed down Sons of Anarchy.
The point of this movie is solely a way to show the action scenes, the rest is just pointless and aggravating filler. Tired clichés and one liners make up the majority of the dialog, I found it incredibly aggravating. The acting was simply terrible, bar Ron Perlman whom always fits his roles well. Whilst Charlie Hunman's typecast acting style fits SoA, it doesn't make well on the big screen. He overacts in an aggressive manner to compensate for his lack of all other emotions. It's just a bit too boring and reminds me of the kind of acting you get on TV dramas - look hard and sound always annoyed.
The action scenes were OK, nothing I hadn't seen before in Transformers, although the city destruction scenes were pretty amazing. If the director hadn't gone down the route of cheese and action cliché, but instead taken his job seriously this could have been a semi decent film. If you like giant robots, Japanese style monsters, and are 12 years old or younger go see this movie, (chances are you will still hate it).
